Abstract
In the context of STEAM education (science, technology, engineering, art, mathematics), the problem of training music teachers lies in the need to integrate the art of music with other disciplines. This requires music teachers to have professional knowledge and skills in the field of music and understand technology, engineering solutions, and scientific approaches. The training of such teachers should consider the ability to use modern technological tools, interdisciplinary teaching methods, and integration of music into the overall STEAM context. Developing teachers' critical thinking and skills to create innovative curricula is also essential. Therefore, the article aims to model and substantiate a model for the development of information and digital culture of music teachers in the context of STEAM-oriented professional training. We used the modeling method, based on which we developed and justified the corresponding model. The model consists of target, theoretical-methodological, substantive, and criterion and result blocks. The model is based on several methodological approaches (systemic, informational, digital, and cultural), provides for the observance of didactic principles in education (the principle of individualization of learning, interdisciplinary integration, creativity, the use of digital technologies), is implemented through the modernization of the content of the training (special course "Information and Digital Culture of Musicians and STEAM Education"), the use of forms (lectures, practical classes and work in pairs), methods (project, research, modeling, brainstorming, method of professional-problem reflection) and means (digital resources and STEAM projects) of training and, thanks to the developed diagnostic apparatus (criteria, indicators and levels), makes it possible to track the result – the development of the Information and Digital Culture of future music teachers.
